WAYNE ROONEY is certain Manchester United new-boy Shinji Kagawa will boost his bid for a record goals tally this season.

Striker Rooney equalled his personal best of 34 in all competitions last season, but hopes Japan international Kagawa, who helped Borussia Dortmund to back-to-back Bundesliga titles, will create even more chances for him and his team-mates.

Rooney, who will line up with Kagawa for the first time in tonight’s friendly against Barcelona in Gothenburg, said: “I’m looking forward to playing with him and I think he’ll create a lot of chances for us.”
